Since I started my second year of Art History at university I had some doubts, not because I didn't like it (because I do like History of Art and I find it extremely interesting), but because I felt that it wasn't my passion. While my class colleagues were extremely into Renaissance Art and the knew everything about the meaning of the light in gothic cathedrals, I didn't, so I recently started saying to myself that I didn't want to work as an art historian as I consider that I wouldn't be 100% satisfied. Until this year, when I have started studying History of Design, I couldn't say which was my favourite subject. The picture above is a collage I made for an (let's say) essay I'm working on for this subject. What you see above is the Savoy vase, made by Alvar Aalto in 1936. Beautiful.

Ohhhh, I wish I had an infinite budget voucher to spend on clothes, but unfortunately I don't, so I will have to wait until the sales as every other student who can't manage to both buy new clothes and go out to eat/have a drink several times a month. On tuesday I made the huge mistake of going to take a look at the new collection of Zara and Mango even though I couldn't afford to buy anything. Why? Why does everything have to be so beautiful? Anyway, I'm trying to limit my wishlist to a bodycon long sleeve dress (knee length too), some jewellery, a pair of checked trousers, grey vintage looking sweatshirt and a burgundy leather jacket and lipstick.

Even though I haven't fallen in that "Céline fever" (have you seen the Philophiles video? It's so funny because the idea looks crazy but it's not that ridiculous) I came across some pictures of Céline's jewellery for this season, and they are beautiful: the photography, the big earrings, the sparkling, the excessive size... Even though I'm not a big fan of their minimalistic aesthetic, I wouldn't mind one of these pieces. The price is the only pity (1500-3100 euros).

How different editorials from great, interesting magazines are, right? Compared to those from "cheap" magazines, I mean. I don't get to see a great styled editorial so often, but this is a very beautiful one. It's all about textures, layering and playing with two colours with so many results, from Carine Roitfeld's magazine (which is a funny fact, because is a completely different style to the sexy side she used to show in Vogue Paris). Take a look, never a sweater, a denim jacket and a wide legged pair of pants offered so many possibilities.
